I cycled to Mt. Akagi today; it's one of the "100 Famous Japanese Mountains".
This mountain is an old volcano, and there are crater lakes on the volcanic crater. As for today's hill-climbing, it was an uphill slope of 1400m, all the way from Maebashi Station at the foot of the mountain(77m) to the outer rim of the volcanic crater(1496m).
The temperature was above 30 degrees Celsius, so water supply is very important.

I joined Osaka University cycling club from the middle of the slope.

They were touring by bicycle during their camping trip, so they had a big pot and tents.

Akagi Shrine is on a small island in the lake, and many tourists were visiting.

88.78Km
